Amanda started her career with the Finance Department of Ford Europe having completed a BA in Accountancy and an MSc in Management Science at Imperial College, London. She then spent 11 years in the City working for Barings and Phillips & Drew Fund Management as an Investment Manager.

Subsequently, she set up her own independent consultancy advising investment companies on the application of new technology.

A move to the countryside, a passion for gardening and a year studying Landscape and Garden Design, led Amanda to establish a landscaping business in 1997 which she continues to run along with a supportive team.

She describes the proudest moments of her career: firstly, launching a £110 million specialist, small companies fund for UK based pension funds, and secondly, winning a medal at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Her career in the City as an investment manager, has given Amanda a broad experience of analysing a range of public companies in several sectors. Running a small business herself means she relates to the diverse problems faced by owner-managed and small businesses.

“I would advise all business owners to be passionate about whatever you do, to have a go and not let fear of failure paralyse you into inaction. Take calculated risks, make a few mistakes, learn from them and be adaptable. The sum of all experiences, good and bad, makes us who we are. “
